This program is available to students at Mid-State through a special partnership with Nicolet College and provides a foundation for success by offering liberal arts courses equal to those found in the first two years of a four-year degree.

The Liberal Arts degree programs at Mid-State allow students to obtain an associate degree from Nicolet College that transfers to numerous colleges and universities, including every campus in the University of Wisconsin system. Up to 30 of the program’s 60 credits can be Mid-State courses—the remainder are completed with Nicolet College. All will be delivered at Mid-State locations with the help of TelePresence, online, and hybrid delivery methods.
